Jessie Reyez recently released her debut full-length album Before Love Came To Kill Us nearly five years after her breakout single “Figures.” But Reyez had more up her sleeve: Just a few days after the album’s debut, Reyez surprise-released a deluxe version of the record with three new tracks. The revamped album features verses from A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, Rico Nasty, and more.
In a statement, Reyez addressed how she felt uneasy releasing an album during a global pandemic: “It messed me up because I was like ‘I don’t want to seem insensitive,'” she said. “I’ve grown up thinking about death as something that could easily happen tomorrow. But I know that for everybody else, there’s a lot of fear right now. I’m conflicted. But I’ve decided I’m putting it out because indecision never did anything for nobody.”
